Question about mini envelope book

[BabyNurse]

I have worked and worked with this and for some reason can't get it to work out right. I followed the directions:

Envelope 1 tucks into envlope 2. Envelope 3 tucks into envelope 4. Envelope 4 tucks into envelope 2. Envelope 2 tucks into envelope 5. Envelope 5 is the front, then envelope 4, then 3, then 2 is the back.

I numbered all my envys as suggested, but when it is done, I have 5, 1, 4, 3, and 2.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I know there is just some little something glaring in my face that I am missing. Maybe it will eventually come to me. Thank you for being patient.

I get the same result. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure it really matters. It still looks like a book. Now, just to figure out what to do with it!

Well hopefully I will get a chance to play today or at least by the weekends end. I have made one of these before, but do you think sitting here I can remember how I did it...........LOL

I made one and I *think* it came out correct, number-wise. I took it apart, however, because I didn't like the way some of the envelopes stuck out a little too far. Anyway, when I put it back together I didn't get the correct number order. But I really don't care. It looks like a book to me. Not sure what I'll use it for, but it's a fun technique.

I get the same thing, but...

Take envelope 5 and fold it back to make it the last page. Then you'll have 1, 4, 3, 2, 5. I think this makes them all lay together better. The envies aren't supposed to be in numerical order, the numbering was just a tool to help get everything laid out correctly.

Looks like you did it! I'll be working on mine this weekend. Can't wait to see what everyone uploads!
